This chart gives me a headache. Where's ECU? Maybe we're the first team to chart in the negative.

Seriously, though, you can see the ECU logo peaking out from under the Army logo...

Graph still doesn't jive for me. Are the axis right? I think the offensive axis is backwards.

i.e. if SP+ is a ranking (rather than a score), then Georgia has the top ranked defense (correct), and Alabama has the bottom ranked offense (incorrect).

In other words, if the graph was consistent, the best teams would be in the bottom left quadrant.

Edit: He explains on his twitter post. I guess it's points scored and points allowed. So the graph trends down and right as you get worse. Not intuitive, but makes sense.

So that means Memphis is grouped with the community colleges. Not bad

Oh I see us now too. The top of us is sticking out from that group. It’s like we’re rising up.

Well, you know what they say, the cream always rises to the top.
